Wildwood Fair

Oh the adventures we get to have.  Every year it's something different, a new place, a new venue, and I love all of it!

I'm so blessed to have some really incredible friends.  This particular one I've had the pleasure to share a few adventures with this year!  The incredible Jeanette Hall invited Jose and I to perform with her at the Wildwood Fair for their mid-show entertainment.  Jeanette is an accomplished archer and gave a talk and demo on mounted archery.  Unfortunately her super-trusty Morgan is still recovering from an injury so she brought out her rookie backup, a young Appy named Caspar.  She had shot off of him only once months ago at a stand still.  Today, she took him all the way up to shooting from the trot!!!  He was a rockstar, and Jeanette was so fun to watch and engaging with the crowd and kids.  I almost didn't want to perform because I was having so much fun watching them.

Just like that!

After all of the kids had a turn shooting the bow, JJ and I took over the crowd and talked about trick-horse training.  How I got to stand around and look pretty and he does all the real work...
It's not untrue..

Jose makes me look good! 

After a good demo to a receptive crowd, we packed up the kids and Jeanette treated me to a Chinese food late lunch.  I'm not sure if the food was really as good as I think it was or if we were just that hungry but it was fantastic company regardless.

It's always a pleasure to meet people when we go out.  We connected with a Patrol Sheriff who was in mounted troop likely at the same time as Anthony.  He asked if Jose was a Quarter Horse, but we won't hold that against him.

So impressive! 

I really like this idea of saying "Yes!" when asked to be involved with things - even if I'm not sure how things are going to go or what the program will be.  Say yes to opportunity and learn the "how to" after.

As always, happy horseing!!!
